+    Generates samples according to a given density function.
+
+    This function generates `n` points (which can be multi-variate) in a
+    box-shape domain of lower bound(s) `xmin` and upper bound(s) `xmax`,
+    according to a density proportional to the function `f`, based on the
+    accept-reject algorithm.
+
+    Let `g_rvs` a function returning random variates sample(s) from an
+    instrumental distribution with density proportional to `g`, and `c` a
+    constant such that `c*g(x) >= f(x)` for any `x` (in `[xmin, xmax[` (can be
+    multi-dimensional), i.e. `x[i]` in `[xmin[i], xmax[i][` for any i). Let `fd`
+    (resp. `gd`) the density function proportional to `f` (resp. `g`); the
+    alogrithm consists in the following steps to generate samples `x ~ fd`:
+
+    - generate `y ~ gd` (using `g_rvs`)
+    - generate `u ~ Unif([0,1])`
+    - if `u < f(y)/c*g(y)`, then accept `x` (reject `x` otherwise)
+
+    The default instrumental distribution (if both `g` and `g_rvs` set to `None`)
+    is the uniform distribution (`g=1`). If the domain (`[xmin, xmax[`) is
+    infinite, the instrumental distribution (`g`, and `g_rvs`) and `c` must be
+    specified.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    n : int
+        number of sample points
+
+    xmin : float (or int), or array-like of shape(m,)
+        lower bound of each coordinate (m is the space dimension);
+        note: component(s) can be set to `-np.inf`
+
+    xmax : float (or int), or array-like of shape(m,)
+        upper bound of each coordinate (m is the space dimension)
+        note: component(s) can be set to `np.inf`
+
+    f : function (`callable`)
+        function proportional to target density, `f(x)` returns the target
+        density (times a constant) at `x`; with `x` array_like, the last
+        axis of `x` denotes the components of the points where the function is
+        evaluated
+
+    c : float (or int), optional
+        constant such that (not checked)) `c*g(x) >= f(x)` for all x in
+        [xmin, xmax[, with `g(x)=1` if `g` is not specified (`g=None`);
+        by default (`c=None`), the domain (`[xmin, xmax[`) must be finite and
+        `c` is automatically computed (using the function
+        `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution`)

+    g : function (callable), optional
+        function proportional to the instrumental density on `[xmin, xmax[`,
+        `g(x)` returns the instrumental density (times a constant) at `x`;
+        with `x` array_like, the last axis of `x` denotes the components of the
+        points where the function is evaluated;
+        by default (`g=None`), the domain (`[xmin, xmax[`) must be finite and
+        the instrumental distribution considered is uniform (constant
+        function `g=1` is considered)
+
+    g_rvs : function (`callable`), optional
+        function returning samples from the instrumental distribution with
+        density proportional to `g` on `[xmin, xmax[` (restricted on this
+        domain if needed); `g_rvs` must have the keyword arguments `size`
+        (the number of sample(s) to draw);
+        by default (`None`), uniform instrumental distribution is considered
+        (see `g`);
+        note: both `g` and `g_rvs` must be specified (or both set to `None`)
+
+    return_accept_ratio : bool, default: False
+        indicates if the acceptance ratio is returned
+
+    verbose : int, default: 0
+        verbose mode, higher implies more printing (info)
+
+    show_progress : bool, optional
+        deprecated, use `verbose` instead;
+
+        - if `show_progress=False`, `verbose` is set to 1 (overwritten)

+
+    The domain of simulation is `[xmin, xmax]` x `[ymin x ymax]`,

+    being a box of size `dx` x `dy`, the lower-left corner is the origin:

+
+    The simulation consists in:

+    1. Drawing random hyper-plane (i.e. lines in 2D):
+    considering the space S x [`p_min`, `p_max`], where S is a part of
+    the circle of radius 1 in the plane (by default: half circle),

+    * mu = `n_mean` / vol(S x [`p_min`, `p_max`])
+

+    onto the direction (cos(phi), sin(phi)) is equal to p) is considered
+
+    2. Each hyper-plane (line) splits the space (R^2) in two parts (two half
+    planes); the value = +1 is set to one part (chosen randomly) and the
+    value -1 is set to the other part. Denoting V_i the value over the
